SUMMARY

The research of Mackram F. Eleid, M.D., focuses on improving the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of structural and ischemic heart diseases. Specific interests include characterization and identification of therapeutic targets for hemodynamic subsets in valvular heart diseases, including low-gradient severe aortic stenosis, through a combination of invasive hemodynamic cardiac catheterization and cardiac imaging clinical research studies. As an interventional cardiologist, Dr. Eleid has special interest in percutaneous approaches to treatment of a variety of structural heart diseases. Within ischemic heart diseases, Dr. Eleid has special interest and expertise in acute coronary syndromes, including spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), with focuses on improving understanding of the pathophysiology, disease identification and treatment.

Significance to patient care

Through better understanding of disease pathophysiology, specific markers of risk and treatment responses, Dr. Eleid's work can improve the diagnosis of structural and ischemic heart diseases and optimize outcomes for patients with these conditions. Introducing novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the cardiac catheterization laboratory for patients with complex cardiac diseases enhances patient care.
